True root mean square measurement (tRMS) / use with frequency converters:
The monitoring relays work with an electronic measuring method which calculates the actual
(effective) value of a measured value (tRMS), regardless of whether the measured variable's
waveform is purely sinusoidal or distorted.
The measured signal must only meet the following requirements:
● Periodic waveform (sinusoidal) within the specified frequency range
● Continuous zero crossings
As long as the line on the primary or the secondary side in the environment of a frequency
converter fulfills these requirements, the monitoring relays can also be operated upstream or
downstream of frequency converters. The required line quality can be ensured by using line
filters/sine-wave filters where applicable. Of course, the suitability of the relevant monitoring
relay for the monitored line frequencies must also be considered.
